Product Quality Prediction in Eindhoven

PQP aims to develop a machine learning program which analyses relations between high mix-low volume products. The post-master will support all elements of machine learning and efficient programming.

Action Line: Digital Industry

Location: Eindhoven

The EIT Digital activity "Product Quality Prediction (PQP): High Mix-Low Volume", is searching for a candidate for a role in Eindhoven.

Within this activity, we are developing a machine learning program which analyses relations between high mix-low volume products that are manufactured on the same machine. Based on these relations, the goal is to give insights about the quality of (new) products on the machine and to reduce the number of offline measurements required.

Requirements

Knowledge, skills and experience in machine learning and efficient programming.

The role will involve all elements of machine learning including data preparation, data analysis, creation of algorithms, database management, and integration with software and front-end web applications.

As part of the CAB activity, the post-master will participate in the product definition by elaborating comprehensive insights from consumer IOT data analysis. The job is at the intersection of product management and data scientist. It requires a 360° vision of the business and a strong customer problem-solving approach.

Requirements:

UI/UX Design: Ability to make proposals for effective, user-friendly interfaces, and service design.

Location: Helsinki

EIT Digital High Impact Initiative OEDIPUS (Operating European Digitising Industry with Products and Services) will enter the second year of operation in 2018. The focus is in digital transformation of manufacturing industry.

OEDIPUS pursues the creation of digital industry innovation hubs acting as hot spots of the digital transformation. Next year, OEDIPUS will widen the scope of work towards manufacturers, SMEs and startups, who want to launch transformation activities in their production operations.

The job will include creation of industrial IoT applications together with startups and SMEs in the context of OEDIPUS framework. The tasks will cover support in evaluating technical and business requirements, and planning and organisation of experiments that the participating startups and SMEs will specify.

Requirements:

Cloud computing architectures at a general level.

IoT platforms, Embedded systems and communications protocols (knowledge of industrial control system protocols is beneficial).

Experience of requirements analysis processes and tools (the role will include collecting and analysing computing and connectivity requirements of industrial applications).

Startup Creation in Eindhoven

A startup will be created to develop a platform for intelligent planning and distribution of packages with autonomous vehicles.

Action Line: Digital Industry

Location: Eindhoven

Warehousing and delivery of packages are currently two separate, non-communicating and labour intensive processes, operating independently of each other. This results in high lead times and high costs, especially in deliveries to (crowded) urban and remote areas. Costs of small/low weight packages are high and need to be reduced to remain sustainable and economically feasible. The motivation for all of these is to remove barriers from the development of future competitive eCommerce retail.

A start-up will be created that develops a platform that will intelligently plan, distribute and deliver packages with autonomous vehicles (aerial or terrestrial). These will be linked to the warehouse/hub, enabling distribution of packages in an intelligent, fast and cost-effective way based on availability of vehicles, size, weight, delivery distance, etc..

Requirements

We are looking for a candidate that has knowledge, skills and experience with embedded systems and a strong interest in business development. The role will involve all elements of business development, including market research, identifying growth opportunities (possible development directions), defining the business strategy and business model.
